This invention relates tok markingtickets such as are commonly-employedfor attach# ment to articles oficlothi'ng to'indicate size,r price,etc., and for'otherpurposes'u .z-f.V

Such *marking tickets are commonlyv sees'A cured' in place' by prongv'fasteners made -of wire secured to the body of th'e 'ticket.V It

Vis important, however, .in the use of these 'Y marking tickets uponsilkfand other fabrlcs" and articles `of av delicatejor expensivefnature, that the pin lor` prong fasteners' ,em-v

ployed shall not be of acharacter to Acatch the fine fibres or of'acharacter 'to cutf'thef iin'e-y threads forming thefabric. @The ordinaryhousehold pin -is--rea`dily obtainable 'in' vlarge-quantities at small'expense' and presents a smoothlyfinished point which will not catch thefibres or cut the threads when passed'through' silk and other fine anddelicate materials. Y

The object ofthe present invention is to provide a marking ticketadaptable for attachment to the article to be marked by means of such apin; and the object of the invention more particularly is to provide aconstruction of ticket which shall protect or. cover the head of the pinat bothfaces of the ticket. The head of the household pin is usuallyvery much larger than the shank,

and if left uncovered or unprotected, it may catch upon some portion lofthe article, or

upon other articles, or in various ways beV caught so as to be withdrawnfrom the ticket and thus cause the separation of theticket from thegoods. In the present invention, the construction of the ticket issoarranged that the head ofthe pin is covered atV both faces of the ticketby the material of the ticket. l V These and other objects and featuresof the invention will beapparent from the accompanyingdescription anddrawings, .and will be particularly pointedout in the claims. In theVdrawings: 'Y Y l Fig. 1 is a rear view of a portion of a piece of fabricwith a marking ticket embodying the preferred form ofthe presentinvention attached thereto.

W'hatever its'material or size, .the marking ticketv of this invention'essentiallycomprises fa two connected I foldable main flaps. The mainVflap V'1 is preferably A"of rectangular shape-'and connected at' theline of fold. 2 to .the second' similar main Hap 3.

' -The first-rmain fiap V'1 is providedvfwithua transverse vslot 4, andbetween thefreei'end 5 of th-is fiap andthe said-slot 4 Vthere arethree, preferably transversely, aligned aper-y tures, 6, 7 andzfS. Twoof theseapertures,

6 and .7, are comparativelywidely separated and-'are for the purpose ofallowing` vthe pin to vpass back andthrough the ticket-and the material,while the third aperture 8 forms a pocket for the headof the pin.

The second main flap 3 is provided near y its free end with twoapertures. One of these, as 9, is juxtaposed to the aperture 6 of thefirst main flap, and the other 10 to the aperture 7, or in other wordsthe two apertures'9 and lO are juxtaposed one to the centralaperture ofthe lirstmain Hap, and the other to one of the end apertures ofthe firstmain flap when the two flaps are in their folded position.

A covering iap 11v is connected with the free end 5 of the first mainflap 1 and is of a size. such that. it may be folded over the threeapertures, 6,5 7 andS, .and then passed through the slot 4 so as toextend between-v the flaps 1 and 3. 'i

The ticket presents onthe main flap 1 indicia. Y

The mannerpof use may nowbe apparent. The flapsl and 3 of the ticketVare folded together, and the ticket is then slipped over an edge 12 ofthe article to be marked. An ordinary household pin l13 is then passedthrough the juxtaposed apertures 7 and l() of the ticket and theinterposed material, and then backthrough 'he juxtaposed apertures 9rand6 and the interposed material,

andthe head is positioned in the aperture 8- Vof the flap 1. Thecovering flap is now tucked in place through thetransverse slot vandlO,an even larger space for suitable 4. The head of the pin lying in theaperture 8 .is now covered on one side by the flap 11 and at. the otherside by the flap 8.A

is claimed as new and desired to be secured by Letters Patent, is:

l. A marking ticket for attachment to goods by means of an ordinaryyheaded pin comprising two connected foldable main flaps adapted toreceive between them the article to be marked; the first main flaphaving a transverse slot and, between its freen end and said slot, threealigned apertures; the second main liap having two apertures juxtaposedto the central and one end aperture of the first main flap when theflaps are infoldfed position; and a coverin-0' flap connected with thefreevend of the Erst main flap, foldablc thereupon over the threeapertures and shaped to enable it to be passed through said slot andextend between the main liaps, whereby, when the ticket is folded uponthe interposed goods and a pin is passed through the juxta-V posedapertures, the head of the pin will lie in the third aperture in thefirst main, flap and will be covered at onev .side by the second mainflap and at the other side by the covering flap.

2. A markingticket forfattachnient'fto goods by means' of an ordinaryheaded pin ycomprising two connected foldable main flaps adapted toreceive between'them the article tobe marked, the firstv main flaphaving a transverse Aslot and between its free end and said slot, apin-head receiving aperture; a covering flap connected to the free endof the first main flap, foldable thereupon and shaped toenable it. toVbe passed through said slot and extend between the main iaps; and bothmain flaps being side by the covering Hap.

In testimony whereof, I have' name to this specification.
